Black would be ok but the yellow kind of match the wheels. What is the plan for paint?

i agree, but the wheels are not staying for sure, i might try and find a set of nip vintage rpm wheels.. or who knows what else may pop up that may tickle my fancy......??...lol

as for paint.. i suck at painting, so i might leave it clear or have some one else do it.. i defiantly want white and some florescent pink,blue, purple for the colors

There are not very many of my cars I would consider done. there is always some trick part I come across that gets put on.

The neon cups give it that vintage feel. If you don't like them you can dye them black cheaper than buying a new set of black.
